Zhang Xuan smiled wryly, "Ma'am, there are too many. Xiao Ke only needs a hundred coins."

Third Sister Yang waved her hand indifferently, and said softly, "A little money is not worth mentioning, so don't treat me like this."

"Ma'am, there is one more thing to ask."

Mrs. Guo Guo glanced at Zhang Xuan, raised her glass and smiled.

"Zhang Xuan, I would like to ask Madam to send someone to the Jiaofang Division to help..." Zhang Xuan paused for a moment, "Help a girl in Yixinyuan take off her music book."

As soon as Zhang Xuan said this, not only Yang Sanjie's expression changed suddenly, but even Pei Hui's expression changed.

Sanjie Yang stared blankly at Zhang Xuan, and then sighed with disappointment after a long time, "The slave family originally thought that brother Xuan was different, and that his reputation as a prodigal was just a disguise... But unexpectedly, your reputation has just risen, and you have returned to your old ways Oh...why, let the slave family help you to redeem the body of a prostitute? This kind of nonsense, the slave family does not care!"

Third Sister Yang turned her head away "hatefully", without even looking at Zhang Xuan.

The corner of Pei Hui's mouth twitched, and he was about to say a few words of "reconciliation", when Zhang Xuan laughed loudly, "Madam, please wait for Zhang Xuan to finish speaking."

Third Sister Yang turned her head and stared at Zhang Xuan closely, "What else do you have to say?"

"Ma'am, this girl is also a descendant of a famous family. Li Yong's granddaughter is named Li Susu. Li Yong was a master in the world, and he was framed and killed by Li Linfu. Sigh..." Zhang Xuan said disappointedly.

Third Sister Yang's expression softened when she heard the words, but then she sneered in an "unfriendly" tone, "What about Li Yong's granddaughter? You are so incompetent, you are young but you don't learn well...you are not married yet, just like those stinky men. Concubine, I can't help you with this favor!"

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said, "Ma'am, Xiao Ke has no personal relationship with this girl at all, but because of Li Gong's reputation, he doesn't want to see Li Gong's descendants fall into the world... Miss Su Su already has Mr. Ruyi is by your side, this man is a high-level knight..."

Third Sister Yang was taken aback, and then she showed her face and smiled and said, "You boy, are you serious? Did you not lie to my family?"

Zhang Xuan cupped his hands and smiled, "How dare Xiao Ke lie to Madam!"

Third Sister Yang suddenly relaxed with relief. She leaned on the brocade pier, pondered for a moment, and then smiled flatteringly, "My family also knows a thing or two about Li Yong's case. Li Yong is also a generation of celebrities, and his descendants have been reduced to this , the slave family also has sympathy. How about this, the slave family sends someone to the Jiaofang Division to fulfill Brother Xuan's reputation of saving people with righteousness..."

"Thank you Madam. Xiao Ke thanked Madam Susu on behalf of Miss Susu." Zhang Xuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and bowed to salute.

"That's all, that's all. I can tell you, don't be an example...Brother Xuan, the sage valued it, you should now study at home and prepare for the exam. It's better not to go to a place like Pingkangfang where the filth is hidden." The third sister Yang was lazy. He shook his hand, "Remember what I said, don't let me down..."

Morning the next day.

Li Longji sat on the high dragon chair, yawning secretly.He couldn't remember how long it had been since the morning meeting was held on time.It seems that ever since he became inseparable from Yang Yuhuan, he seldom went to court as a routine, and embraced the beauty every day, "the spring night is bitter, the short day is high", and all political affairs are handled by Li Linfu.As for the emperor himself, he just summoned Li Linfu at a certain time in the morning to listen to the report.

The topic of today's morning meeting is to confer a posthumous title on Li Linfu.

Looking at the two rows of civil and military ministers who were ready to line up under the stage, he collected his mind and turned his head to wink at Gao Lishi behind him.

Gao Lishi smiled knowingly, stood behind Li Longji's dragon chair and yelled sharply: "The emperor has a decree, and all civil and military officials will discuss Li Linfu's posthumous title—"

Today's topic was decided early, so after Gao Lishi officially announced the start, the left minister Chen Xilie immediately came out and played aloud, "Your Majesty, I think that Li Xiang has been loyal to the country for decades, and he has led the government to share the worries of the superiors. He has made great contributions. , It’s worthy of encouragement. I invite the emperor to give Li Xiang the posthumous title of Wenzheng, and posthumously give him the posthumous title of Liang Guogong.”

Li Longji heard this, although he remained silent, his brows were furrowed.

Posthumous titles are titles given to emperors, nobles, ministers, and scholar-bureaucrats after their death according to their deeds during their lifetime.But the posthumous title of "Wenzheng" is not something everyone can afford. A traitor like Li Linfu is at best a powerful minister, and the posthumous title of "Wenzheng" is simply a big joke.

Li Longji knows more about Li Linfu than anyone else.He glanced at Chen Xilie, and thought to himself, you old slave, you are really confused... In order to keep your power and wealth, you will spare no effort to paint the dead Li Linfu at all costs.

Li Longji was contemplating how to respond, but he heard Li Linfu's confidant, Peng Chun, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and others came out of class one after another to echo him.

"Your Majesty, what Chen Xiang said is true. Li Xiang has been loyal to Sheji and Jiangshan all his life, and his achievements are very great... He should be posthumously named Wenzheng, and posthumously named Liang Guogong."

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

A dozen or so of Li Linfu's best friends stood up, led by Chen Xilie.Li Linfu is dead, of course these people are not really loyal to Li Linfu, but out of consideration of their own interests.

Now that Yang Guozhong is gaining power, there are faint signs of attacking Li Linfu's party.At this time, letting the emperor come forward to give Li Linfu, a dead ghost, the corresponding supreme glory and title is of great significance to their own protection.

Therefore, last night, these people gathered at Chen Xilie's residence, and they had already agreed on countermeasures.In any case, even if we try our best, we must win the posthumous title and posthumous title for Li Linfu.

Although Li Longji intends to give Li Linfu a posthumous title that is not satisfactory, seeing these people unite and put on a posture of not giving up, he is not happy, but turns his head and sweeps at Yang Guozhong who is standing in front of the queue of subordinates with a sullen face. glance.

Yang Guozhong got the hint from the emperor, and glanced back at his brother Yang Qi who was standing behind him on the left.Yang Kai nodded knowingly, and immediately went out to play loudly, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."

"Yang Kai, what's wrong? Let's speak slowly." Li Longji said in a deep voice.

Yang Kai took a step forward, not afraid of the unfriendly gazes cast by Chen Xilie and others, "Your Majesty, the government and the public have their own opinions about Li Linfu. Even if he has no major faults, he has no great achievements. Giving him a posthumous title and burial is already a The Son of Heaven's great favor...the so-called posthumous title Wenzheng, chasing after the Duke of the state, making fun of the world, and losing the dignity of the court, must not be done!"

As soon as Yang Kai's words fell, Chen Xilie's old face turned red in an instant. He glared at Yang Qi and said in a deep voice, "Yang Kai, how about Li Xiang, it's not your turn to comment... Li Xiang is a very good minister, He devoted all his heart and soul to the country of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor, and now his bones are still cold, and you start to slander wantonly, what is the intention?"

Yang Kai was about to refute, but Yang Guozhong sneered unhurriedly and took over the conversation, "Chen Xiang, a certain family would like to ask, what is your intention?"

"The posthumous title of Wenzheng and the posthumous title of Duke? It's a big joke. Li Linfu's crime of manipulating the government to deceive the saints is not small. Even the scholars in Chang'an City stood up angrily and denounced him as a treacherous sycophant for misleading the country... Doesn't his posthumous title of Wenzheng make him the laughing stock of the world?"

"Chen Xilie, for your own selfishness, you are seeking the posthumous title of Duke of the State for Li Linfu, and you should be punished."

Chen Xilie was trembling with anger, his eyebrows and beard trembled, he pointed at Yang Guozhong and angrily said, "Yang Guozhong, don't bully people too much! Don't bully people too much!"

Yang Guozhong said coldly, "How dare, how dare."

As the two confronted each other, Li Longji suddenly got up and walked away with his hands behind his back.Gao Lishi hurried to catch up, and let out a high-pitched and sharp sentence that echoed in the hall for a long time——

"The emperor has a decree, this matter will be discussed another day, and the court will be retired!"
